: Thanks for sending the PDFs via email. I looked at them and see you are attempting to do the same thing as RCIPE, which is to look deeper into the preferences. Also you are attempting to avoid IIA failures by identifying which candidates are irrelevant. The RCIPE method achieves both of those goals using the same "deeper" elimination process (by eliminating pairwise losing candidates). In contrast, your 11 step process is too complex. It seems to do three different calculation methods and chooses the "best" winner of the three. That same approach can be done by using any three methods. I'm not saying your method is bad. I'm saying there are simpler ways to reach the same goals. I commend you for spending time digging deep into the math behind fairer vote-counting methods, which are long overdue for adoption into real elections. --[[User:VoteFair|VoteFair]] ([[User talk:VoteFair|talk]]) 01:48, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
== Variants: ways of dealing with equal rankings (see STV page) ==
For discussion, I offer this alternative. The following example (amending the example given) clearly shows how my improvement of IRV deals with equal rankings using three orders of [[Random Voter Hierarchy]] (RVH). The result changes as C reaches the border of a majority, going from a three way tie to a win by C.
15 A>C>B
30 A=C>B
35 B>A>C
20 C>B>A
With C claiming the better rank in the 1st order, C wins.
With A claiming the better rank in the 1st order, it is a three way tie.
When one or more votes honestly change from A>C to A=C, C wins. Alternatively, when one or more votes honestly change from A=C to A>C, it’s a three way tie.
In the other example given on “Ways to deal with equal ranking”
34 A=B=C
33 D
33 E
The winner is whichever of A, B or C claims the best ranking in the 1st order of RVH.
